This week’s questions from Raiders fans include the state of the quarterback competition and how long it will take the offense to master the new scheme.
Raiders News
Las Vegas Raiders news from training camp through the NFL season, including videos, podcasts, and coverage of Allegiant Stadium. From the Vegas Nation team.
Raiders coach Antonio Pierce said his players could decompress after the team’s mandatory minicamp this week, but he doesn’t want them to stop working.
The Raiders’ defense was one of the NFL’s best down the stretch last season. They could be even better this year.
The Raiders offense has looked miles behind the defense at the start of the team’s mandatory minicamp. Star wide receiver Davante Adams isn’t worried.
The gutless call by the Cowboys coach to kick a field goal with 6:04 left essentially cost Dallas the game in a 13-9 loss and cost countless New England bettors a cover.
Cowboys owner Jerry Jones basically said coach Jason Garrett and his staff cost his team a victory against the Patriots.
How an NFL team with so much on the line as a season progresses can offer such a dreadful performance is one of sport’s great mysteries, but the Raiders ineptly obliged in a 34-3 loss at New York on Sunday.
“I think this will be good for us,” said wide receiver Tyrell Williams. “We have a stretch of five games left, and we’re going to make a playoff push.”
The recent kicking woes of Daniel Carlson were mitigated a bit by the Raiders’ three-game winning streak. But after another field goal miss Sunday against the Jets his struggles have moved to the forefront.
The Raiders’ 34-3 loss to the New York Jets on Sunday likely revealed some harsh truths about where they really are as a franchise.
Said Raiders owner Mark Davis while leaving MetLife Stadium: “None of that was good.”
The easy thing would be to say the Raiders simply got caught looking ahead on Sunday, and that the 34-3 beatdown the Jets unleashed on them was retribution for peeking a little too far into the future and overlooking an outclassed opponent.
